Dec. 4, 2004

Swedish jazz legend, Nils Lindberg, will be a guest artist as part of an evening
of jazz hosted by Augsburg College, Thursday, December 9, at 7 p.m. in Hoversten
Chapel. All are invited to this event, which is free and open to the public

Lindberg's music is an
original blend of Swedish folk music and jazz. His breakthrough came in 1960
with the album Sax Appeal but one of his most successful
and popular
works has been Swedish jazz classic, Seven Dalecarlian Paintings. His latest
album Third Saxes Galore was issued in 2000 and features some of Sweden’s
finest musicians. Performing will be the Gospel Praise singers, the Augsburg Jazz Band, and
a faculty jazz quartet, all led by Dr. Robert Stacke. The repertoire will
include
several jazz classics as well as works by Lindberg.

It's guaranteed to be
a great night of music! For more information regarding this special concert
